Overview

Junior Field Service Mechanical Engineer – £33,000 basic (Annual Earnings up to £55K). Company vehicle. Overtime paid. Door-to-Door UK travel with some overseas work.

Are you mechanically skilled and looking to take your career to the next level? This is your chance to join one of the UK’s most respected machinery manufacturers — a global leader in advanced print & packaging technology — as they continue to expand their UK service team.

With full training and support, you’ll develop your expertise on some of the industry’s most technically advanced print production systems. You’ll gain hands-on experience, travel across the UK (with occasional overseas projects), and build a long-term career within a world-class engineering organisation.

What You’ll Do
  • Assist with the installation, servicing, and maintenance of high-tech print production machinery at customer sites.
  • Learn to diagnose and repair mechanical and drive-related faults with guidance from senior engineers.
  • Carry out preventative maintenance to ensure customers’ machinery runs smoothly and efficiently.
  • Travel across the UK (with occasional overseas assignments), gaining exposure to a wide variety of equipment and environments.
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Career Development – Structured training and mentoring to grow into a full Field Service Engineer role.
  • Attractive Package – £28k–£32k basic salary with realistic OTE £40k (overtime paid door-to-door).
  • Company Vehicle – Fully expensed, with travel time paid.
  • Exciting Variety – No fixed territory; every week offers new challenges.
  • Generous Benefits – 25 days holiday bank holidays, pension scheme, healthcare cash plan, and life insurance.
  • Future Security – Be part of a global, financially strong company that values and invests in its engineers.
What We’re Looking For
  • Mechanically trained (apprenticeship, HNC, BTEC, NVQ, or similar).
  • Some hands-on mechanical experience — could be from maintenance, service, installation, or college/placement projects.
  • Enthusiastic, with a problem-solving mindset and willingness to learn.
  • Flexible with UK-wide travel and overnight stays (approx. 100 nights per year).
  • Based in England with good motorway access (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).
The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opening for a junior mechanical engineer to join a global leader in print & packaging machinery. You’ll receive full training, gain exposure to a wide variety of equipment, and progress into a fully-fledged Field Service Engineer role. If you’re looking for variety, development, and long-term career prospects in a world-class engineering team, we’d love to hear from you.

Edge Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
